Seanad Éireann — 2023-12-12
============================================================

Eileen Flynn (IND), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I would love for people to answer that question for me. Keeping it on equality, last week the Cathaoirleach hosted an event around Pride here in Leinster House. I was so proud to be there as a member of the Traveller community and, most importantly, to admire the work of Senator David Norris over the past 30 years in this House and the changes he has made in Irish society. I want to congratulate the Cathaoirleach on that event. Hopefully, the next Seanad and the next Dáil will have more visible diversity and equality.
I also take this opportunity to thank the ushers, the restaurant staff, the bar staff, all the PAs and the clerks in this House who work so hard and always have a smile on their faces and give us the best support they can.
